US $100
ESTIMATE: Shop insisted BOTH REAR Wheel Bearing & Hub Assemblies must be replaced even though only Right Rear noisy. Quoted ($508.16 Parts/$233.35 Labor) AND BOTH CORRECTLY WORKING ABS Wheel Speed Sensors (Quoted Parts $270) must be replaced when a wheel bearing was replaced. Other mechanics said untrue - mechanic just must be careful when removing ABS Sensor to get to Hub. Will have right rear wheel bearing done elsewhere.
